B-LINE AW1816SP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size enclosure does the B-Line AW1816SP back panel fit?
The AW1816SP is sized for an 18 x 16 inch Eaton B-Line fiberglass enclosure. The panel itself measures 16.88 in height by 16 in width, which is the usual undersize needed to clear the enclosure's internal mounting bosses. Match it to the enclosure's nominal 18 x 16 box size rather than to the panel dimensions.
2) Will a back panel affect the NEMA 4X rating of my fiberglass enclosure?
No. The AW1816SP back panel mounts entirely inside the box on the enclosure's existing internal standoffs, so nothing is drilled through the walls and the NEMA 4X, UL Listed rating of the enclosure is untouched. Keep your component mounting holes in the panel, not in the enclosure body.
3) Is the AW1816SP panel steel or stainless steel?
Stainless steel, in 14 gauge. That matters if you are mounting components inside a washdown or corrosive-duty fiberglass enclosure, since a painted mild steel panel will rust at drill points and cut edges while the stainless one will not.
4) Does the AW1816SP come with mounting hardware?
Order the panel as a panel. The AW1816SP is a back panel only, weighing 5.66 lb, and it lands on the mounting provisions molded into the Eaton B-Line fiberglass enclosure. If your enclosure was supplied without panel mounting screws or standoff kit, add that separately.
5) Is this panel suitable for a washdown or outdoor corrosive area?
Yes. Stainless construction plus a NEMA 4X enclosure rating is the combination specified for food plants, car washes, water treatment, and coastal outdoor use, where hosedown and corrosion both apply. A painted carbon steel panel is the cheaper choice only if the interior stays dry.
6) What is the exact part number to specify for a stainless back panel in an 18 x 16 B-Line fiberglass box?
AW1816SP, from the Eaton B-Line series fiberglass accessories line. The SP suffix is the stainless panel version; specify it by that full number so you do not receive the painted steel equivalent.
